L eaguedom furnished another inter.
esting case for our courts last week. 1t
seems that sometime last spring one,
D. HI. Stevenson, bought from Leag-
uer quit claim deed to the old Gull
liland farm. Before he could take pos
session, however, another Lacquer, Col
umbus Carter by name. jumped the
claim and proceeded, to SOW his crops,
among others several acres of flax. Mr..
Stevenson went to the courts and Sc
cured q writ by which he ousted Mr..
Carter. All was quiet until q dayor two
after the fax, above referred to, was
cut, when Mr.. Carter suddenly appear
::On the premises with number Of
wagons and several men aud loaded
up the flax and hauled it away in spite
of Stevenson's protests. The latter
then appealed to the law and on FRI
day last Mr.. Carter and his ailors and
abettors were arrested and brought be-
fore Justice Walters to answer the
charge of grand larceny. After hearing
the evidence the Justice decided to
bind Mr.. Carter over to the District
Court. The other defendants were re-
leased on their showing that they were
simply hired by Mr.. Carter aud did not
know what they were expected to do.
Mr.. Carriers bail was fixed at $500,

son found where his fax was, hauled
1t. to machine and had it threshed and
sold it to Mr.. Beck. So the fate of the
flax IL settled any way. We have no
comment to make except the remark
that it is queer state Ofaffairs that must
exist when two men can quarrel over
the possession of flax gr,wn on land
that belongs to neitherof lnam and fCr
which neither of them pays rent.
1t is surprising sometimes 10 -.e
what a great matter little fire kindIcih
tn. Two or three weeks ago the REGIS
TER made a little personal note that
our former citizen, John r. Griffith,
was in town on the 4th, and added
that we had been informed that he was
in the Salvation Army business. We
thought the item innocen: enough and
were therefore well-nigh paralyzed
when we read the column
of wrath which Mr.. Griffith
poured out upon us on account
Of it through last weeks Democrat
Why SO simple an item should provoke
the subject Of it to call upon "BrOther
Scott" to ''repent and be converted"
to "cut" Senator Ingalls,, to decline
longer to be q "tool of railroads and
other rings" to quit advocating pro-
tective tariff and SO forth and so forth,
Is something we cannot understand.
However. if Mr.. Griffith, who boasts
that he LEFT the republican party be
cause of its corruption and dishonesty
will drop in and pay us 81 IS that he
has owed us two or three years on job
work, and 81 or S. that he has owed us
on subscription for about the same
length of time, he will have our full
permission to continue to demOninate
US a ''shyster and deceiverH to his
hearts content.
